chapter 1436


    Charmine leaned against the headboard when she heard footstepsing her way. She turned over to


    see that it was Anthony, and her nk eyes began to twinkle.


    He was finally here.


    He would surely exin everything to her, right? She would forgive him as long as the exnation


    made sense.


    After all, after her near-death experience yesterday, she realized that there was nothing in life more


    important than staying alive.


    Furthermore, he was so immersed in work to spend more time with her after their wedding ceremony.


    He was so tired, and she should have been more understanding. She must not be so unreasonable.


    Charmine then noticed how he silently sat by the side, and she frowned." Are you busy?" she began.


    "Not really," replied Anthony apathetically.


    That caused Charmine to pause and look at him in confusion.


    He was not busy after all? Why did he not rush over to see her, then?


    Just as Charmine grew suspicious, Anthony eventually said, "Let''s break up, Charmine."


    At that moment, Charmine heard a loud buzz in her head. Her head went nk, and she looked at him


    impassively. "What did you say?"


    Anthony felt a pang in his chest the moment he saw how pale she had gotten, but he forced himself to


    remain steely, frigid as he clenched his fists.


    "I’m just as they said-l don''t mind losing you, now that I''ve gotten you. I don’t want to cherish you," he


    remarked. "Every man is like this, and I''m no exception. You''re too cold, and I like cute women like


    Faye now. It''s less tiring."


    Charmine could not believe what she just heard.


    He once said that he liked how confident and proud she was, but he oh-so suddenly said it was tiring to


    be with her? i


    Anthony ignored the hurt in her eyes as he ruthlessly continued, "I treated you so well in the past to


    tame your proud temperament. Now that I won your heart, I got bored. Do you know why I keep


    disappearing in the past few days?"


    Charmine looked at him, stumped.


    Anthony''s fists were so tightly clenched that his veins protruded, but his expression remained tranquil


    throughout his speech. "Since you’re ready to officiate our rtionship, you became so eager. You


    cooked, took care of the kid...but I want a stunning woman, not a maid. Furthermore, you became


    overly attached, calling me from time to time, and it tired me so much. It’s as if I’m being monitored.


    You''re annoying. I don’t even want to get married anymore, so that''s why I escape by loading myself


    with work." 1


    Charmine felt attacked. Her eyes etched deeply with pain widened, and she seemed painfully lost.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Was this a nightmare? Why else would Anthony treat her in such a way and say harsh things to her?


    The man who used to be willing to give up his life for her, merely wanted to tame her and ditch her


    afterward?


    Charmine still could not believe everything he had said. It was only after a long while did she feebly


    speak, "Anthony, is what you''re saying...true?"


    That was it? The reason why he kept running away from her, noting home, and breaking his


    promises was because he got bored of her and did not want to get married?


    "Yes," responded Anthony coldly, his handsome face stoic as he did.


    Charmine''s eyebrows furrowed sharply. She red at him with disbelief.


    It was then she spotted his clenched fists.


    It was apparent that he was hiding something.


    She did not believe that he was this kind of man. He must be hiding something from her!


    She red at him and asked, "Anthony, are you hiding something from me? Is there something you


    can’t tell me? You can tell me anything! There''s nothing we can''t conquer in the world if we work


    together." "No!" Anthony scoffed at her, sounding impatient. "I came here to break up with you. Nothing


    else."


    With that, he turned and walked away.


    Charmine looked at his back and felt everything seemed surreal. If he left her now, she would lose him


    forever...


    She ignored everything else as she ripped out the needles from her arm and, not bothering to put on


    her shoes, ran after him with bare feet.


    When she opened the door, she saw Anthony standing before the lift.


    She rushed toward him and called out, "Anthony...!"


    Anthony, meanwhile, acted so coldly as if he did not hear her.
